I see that Pirate Pete (aka Peter Cochran) is rapidly heading towards the 100,000km mark on GPTSC. I wonder if such extremes were considered when TC was conceived all those years ago? Has the creator allowed for the sixth digit? Or like a 1970s car will his total rollover to 00000?. Worse still it could bring down the entire GPSTC world and all our years of data could be lost!
Fear not though, it is not too late for the administrators to make any required changes before this impending armageddon.

What do we want? More digits.
When do we want them? Sometime soonish.

I can say with pretty strong certainty that 100,000km will not be a problem.

My calculator can't handle the size of the number that it would max out at, but it's roughly 1 followed by 300 zeroes.
